Werewolf Mask

The full moon is the newest part of the legend. In the older accounts the change came from a curse, a pact, a salve or a belt, and it could arrive at any hour of any night. Twentieth century cinema tied the werewolf to the lunar calendar, and cinema also settled what the face should look like: heavy brow, long snout, teeth that reach the audience before anything else does. This mask comes straight from that tradition.

Grey fur and yellow teeth

The mane is long shaggy fur, grey and silver at the tips, sweeping back over the crown and falling well past the neck, with a thick ruff gathered under the jaw. One ear stands up large and sharply pointed. The face beneath is sculpted in grey and near black, creased across the muzzle and drawn out into a long dark snout. The mouth is open on a deep red interior and a set of bright yellow fangs, upper and lower, kept deliberately uneven.

Made to read at a distance

Screen werewolves were built for a camera at the back of a room, which is why the features run large: oversized teeth, a deep brow, contrast pushed hard between fur and skin. The same logic works in a crowded room. Across a dark hall this face resolves at once. The old rituals said to bring the change on are stranger than any script.

Pairing it up

Grey mane, yellow fangs, one ear standing tall. Wear it as the centrepiece of a wolf costume, or set it beside the other designs in the wolf mask collection.
